Synopsis:Gil and his fiancee, Inez, are in Paris, having a vacation with
family and friends. Gil is a successful but dissatisfied Hollywood
screenwriter, now working on his first novel. Inez and the others are
very demeaning both to Gil and the idea of him writing a novel. While
alone walking at night, Gil gets in a car with some friendly strangers.
Gil soon discovers he has been transported to the 1920s, an era he
admires and idolizes in his to-be-novel. While there, he encounters and
interacts with famous icons and artists who help him with his
novel and his life. In the end he discovers that longing for a "golden
past" is a recurring theme of any time period, as some prefer to be
nostalgic about a romanticized past rather than accepting the messy
present and uncertain future.
